McMurphy on Interpol at 10-06-2010, Interview with Sam Fogarino

I don't think the band has skipped a beat since losing Carlos D. left. But you have to think that it's going to affect the band dynamic, especially how Sam talks about the non-verbal communication that connected he and Carols. They just had a sense for it, and they kept the foundational instruments on the same page. That being said, their new album is stellar and definitely brings them back whatever they "lost" on Our Love to Admire. Personally, I thought OLTA was a nice change of pace for them, but it does make sense that they were not pleased with it if all those changes were going on with the label and what not. Either way, I'm looking forward to hearing them perform it all live, especially to see what songs they choose out a four-album selection. Their music speaks to people, there is no doubt, and let's hope they can overcame the bump in the road that was Carlos D.'s departure.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is one of my favorite books. Usually when you love a book so much, it means that however great the movie is, it's going to disappoint you. Obviously, this movie-adaptation is the exception, for all the reasons stated in this post: Jack Nicholson's role, Nurse Ratched and the amazing portrayal of the mentally ill by the supporting actors. But I always have a problem with Blu-Ray releases. I can't help but see beyond them as more than a gimmick. As this post says, the sound and color are not going to be improved hardly at all. Sounds like there are some interesting special features that would suit collectors, though, and that might make the collection worthwhile. But other than that, I'm just fine with the original full-length movie, because nothing can compare.
